The Pleiades star cluster

My image of the Pleiades star cluster taken with my Rokinon 135mm prime lens mounted on my 1300D DSLR Canon camera at f/2.8 which was mounted on my Star Adventure 2i pro tracking mount. Settings were 100 images, 50s 800iso, 50 flat frames, 30 dark frames all stacked in DSS, and processed in Siril and Gimp 2.10.  I used an intervalometer to control the camera and a Bahtinov mask to focus on a bright star. The image was taken under Bortle 3 skies in Rhosslli Gower.
